What has more air pressure the upper atmosphere or the ocean?
Kimninomagana7825
The question is confusing. Air pressure does not equate to pressure under water, other than both are pressure. Below the surface of the oceans, however, pressure is referred to as "atmospheres" as a unit of measure; that, on average, is 101.325 kPa, or 14.5 pounds per square inch. For every 33 feet you travel under water, the pressure increases by one atmosphere, or 14.5 psi.
Air pressure as you travel higher into the atmosphere is less exact. Different variables cause different results. Variables such as humidity, temperature, and the combined elements of weather affect pressure at elevation, as well as the dual effects of gravity.

How does our body respond to atmospheric pressure?
On the surface, there is one atmosphere of pressure. This acclamation is how our bodies work the way they do. If you go above the atmosphere, your body has some level of difficulty in moving since there is also no gravity as well. Going into the ocean applies more atmospheres of pressure on the body, making your body become harder to move and even painful to move appendages.
How does the amount of gravity on a planet affect the thickness of the atmosphere?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
What is involved in hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
This treatment involves placing the patient in a chamber breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of more than one atmosphere (the normal pressure the atmosphere exerts at sea level). The increased pressure forces more oxygen into the blood.
What creates winds in the atmosphere and therefore currents in the ocean?
The ocean stores huge quantities of energy . This energy and the heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere drives the winds and atmospheric circulation around the world. These winds drive ocean surface currents.
Is the upper or lower mantle dense?
No, it is hotter because it is closer to the inner core
How does atmospheric pressure varies with depth?
The pressure increases as the atmosphere gets deeper. At lower levels of the atmosphere there is more fluid above that is being pulled by Earth's gravitational force .So, there is more pressure at lower levels of the atmosphere.
How typhoons and hurricanes forms?
Low pressure, fueled by high sea surface temperatures which drive convection cells which release energy into the atmosphere and pave the way for more energy to be draw from the warm ocean surface to drive more convection cells. it is a self reinforcing cycle which is only broken by land mass or upper level shear.
What is where air is pushing down with more pressure?
atmosphere
Why the higher the elevation the less atmosphere?
the atmospheric pressure can be considered as the pressure, exerted a columnna air over you, you imagine that this column goes from the limits of ammosfera to you, it's great right? the more we climbed the column of air is made smaller for at that the atmospheric pressure decreases.
Where is their more pressure on a mountain or ocean?
More pressure is normally experienced in the ocean, where apart from lack of oxygen, divers experience stronger gravity.
Does the atmosphere store more carbon dioxide than the ocean?
No it does not
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.

Why do some countries suffer from hurricanes more than others?
Hurricanes most often form over warm water with an upper atmosphere consisting of moist high pressure and high winds. They are driven by their rotational forces and high altitude winds. Thus, they are most likely to form in the western Pacific Ocean, then the western Atlantic Ocean, and then the Indian Ocean, east of India. The South Atlantic for the most part is a cold ocean. Conditions are seldom right in that location for hurricanes to form.
Why is there more pressure in lower atmosphere?
Air molecules are piled up on each other in our atmosphere. The lower the air molecules, the more weight they're under causing more pressure. Higher up the molecules have more space to move around in resulting in lower pressure.
What has more pressure deep ocean trench or mid ocean ridge?
hard to say
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
